There have been some great threads on trailers, hitches
and wiring in the last 9 mo. Here is one with pics and
links to other threads.

tire carrier vs cheap tire trailer?

The advanced search brings up some more.

I went with the 4x6 Tractor Supply one. Fits my 4 315s, canopy and large tool box and keeps it all at a low profile. I put board down under the tires so the grate deck doesn't dig into them. I'll take a picture tomorrow when I'm getting everything ready for next weekend. I'm glad I have the extra space over a 4x4. Got about 1500 miles on it this summer so far.

European Trailer (Metric) hooked to an American hitch (English) Slightly re-wired close to US standards, but most importantly, FREE. Yeah, it's a little ghetto, but it'll get me through this summer until I can get a real trailer (the kind where the car goes on the trailer and is pulled behind a truck)

I saw an ad on eBay last week for a Harley that had a trailer that was way cool. Trailer was a small C5 sitting on a car trailer. The whole top of the "C5" lifted up and was held by a gas piston when open.

Harley was blue with silver flames, and "C5" was painted to match. I messaged the guy as I wanted that trailer. He said it had 25 cubic feet of space in it and was made in Florida, but he couldn't remember any more detail.

I looked for a link but it's gone now. Not to hijack this thread, but if anyone knows where to buy this trailer... gimme a PM.

Instead of putting boards down. I got those 2x2ft interlocking pads that are about 1" thick, high density foam. 6 of them fit nicely on that trailer. Then mount the Contico bin right on top out front. Then the remaining 2 I had I cut up. 2 peices to go inside the Contico bin to stop the jack and stuff from rattling and banging around. Then I had 2 smaller peices left. I stuff 1 peice inbetween the rims. Stack them flat, 2 high. Makes the load nice and even and no scratched rims. The stuff stops them from sliding around also. Still have room for 10x10 easy up, cooler, air tank, etc.. on the trailer.

Finally remembered to take a picture last weekend at MidOhio. Those are four 315s., which fit if your stack them like that. Tractor Supply trailer. The stuff in front of the trailer fits in my trunk.

Here's mine: It's the 4'x3' Harbor Freight trailer with the 12" wheels



This is how the tires mount to the base. A chunk of 2" galvanized pipe with a base and a cap at the top.
